This volume collects interdisciplinary contributions that explain the complexity of Cosimo I patronage among the Laurentian complex. Thus it gives original and key interpretations on episodes central to the historiographical debate regarding some of the most important figures of the late Renaissance such as Michelangelo, Pontormo, Vasari and Vincenzo Borghini. San Lorenzo Basilica in Florence represented for Cosimo I a chance of continuity with the Medici Family, the place where to perpetuate the dynastic policy of his ancestors. The volume offers an updated picture on some relevant issues that will run through the second half of the XVI century that will eventually be developed by the Medici's Grand Dukes in the next two centuries.

The essays in Visualizing the Past in Italian Renaissance Art address a foundational concept that was as central to early modern thinking as it is to our own: that the past is always an important part of the present. Written by the friends, students, and colleagues of Dr. Brian Curran, former professor of Art History at the Pennsylvania State University, these authors demonstrate how reverberations of the past within the present are intrinsic to the ways in which we think about the history of art. Examinations of sculpture, painting, and architecture reveal the myriad ways that history has been appropriated, reinvented, and rewritten as subsequent generations-including the authors collected here-have attained new insight into the past and present. Contributors include Denise Costanzo, William E. Wallace, Theresa A. Kutasz Christensen, Ingrid Rowland, Anthony Cutler, Marilyn Aronberg Lavin, Louis Alexander Waldman, Elizabeth Petersen Cyron, Stuart Lingo, Jessica Boehman, Katherine M. Bentz, Robin L. Thomas, and John Pinto.

"Quali sono i processi che portano alla formazione di valori identitari? Quali i fattori che funzionano da creatori, marcatori, simboli di un bagaglio culturale riconoscibile e condiviso?Partendo da tali questioni, gli autori dei diciassette saggi contenuti in questo volume si interrogano, da punti di vista diversi e complementari, sulla genesi, lo sviluppo e le specificità distintive del patriarcato di Aquileia in epoca medievale, inteso come caso studio ideale. Il patriarcato costituisce infatti un osservatorio privilegiato per esaminare dinamiche identitarie complesse, in virtù di caratteristiche comuni che lo contraddistinguono come entità territoriale: la pretesa origine e autorità apostolica della Chiesa aquileiese; l’ambivalente natura della figura istituzionale del patriarca, che era non solo capo spirituale ma anche politico della diocesi; la sua vasta estensione geografica, sovranazionale, che comprendeva numerose regioni, e univa popoli che parlavano lingue diverse e avevano differenti origini storiche ed etniche, così come molteplici usi e tradizioni.L’arte e la liturgia, il culto dei santi, la promozione di figure esemplari, le commissioni illustri sono qui esaminati come agenti e simboli nella creazione di un patrimonio diffuso. Ne emerge un mosaico complesso e sfaccettato, in cui l’identità non è un blocco monolitico ma un prisma cangiante, che si trasforma e mostra di volta in volta le sue diverse facce."

In Monumental Sounds , Matthew G. Shoaf examines interactions between sight and hearing in spectacular church decoration in Italy between 1260 and 1320. In this "age of vision," authorities' concerns about whether and how worshipers listened to sacred speech spurred Giotto and other artists to reconfigure sacred stories to activate listening and ultimately bypass phenomenal experience for attitudes of inner receptivity. New naturalistic styles served that work, prompting viewers to give voice to depicted speech and guiding them toward spiritually fruitful auditory discipline. This study reimagines narrative pictures as site-specific extensions of a cultural system that made listening a meaningful practice. Close reading of religious texts, poetry, and art historiography augments Shoaf's novel approach to pictorial naturalism and art's multisensorial dimensions. This book has received the Weiss-Brown Publication Subvention Award from the Newberry Library. The award supports the publication of outstanding works of scholarship that cover European civilization before 1700 in the areas of music, theater, French or Italian literature, or cultural studies.

A brand new look at the extraordinary accomplishments of early modern Italian women artists. This generously illustrated volume surveys a sweeping range of early modern Italian women artists, exploring their practice and paths to success within the male-dominated art world of the period. New attention to archival documents and detailed technical analyses of the beautiful paintings featured here-ranging from historical subjects to portraits and still lifes-offer new insight into the ways these women worked and their accomplishments. Essays and catalogue entries by an international team of distinguished art historians examine the works of Artemisia Gentileschi, Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, Elisabetta Sirani, Giovanna Garzoni, Rosalba Carriera, and other less known Italian women artists. Through these works of art in diverse media-from paintings to prints-the fascinating stories of early modern Italian women artists are revealed.
